You typically don’t need to wander too far to find a spot dedicated to serving up ice cream to the masses, which makes sense when you consider the average American makes their way through four gallons (the equivalent of 20 pounds) of the beloved desert each year.
Most people can get their ice cream fix by popping open their freezer, but there’s something to be said for the experience that comes with heading out into the wild to secure a scoop or two—especially when that experience involves a crew of robots serving up cubes (yes, you read that right) of ice cream right in front of your eyes.

Dice Cream: Autonomous ice cream parlors for the future
We sadly don’t live in a world where that’s currently an option, but that’s the future the folks behind Dice Cream are hoping to usher in with the autonomous ice cream parlors that are on the verge of becoming a reality.
The typical ice cream shop is a business that has to deal with plenty of hurdles in order to succeed. If you’re doing things right, you’re going to pour a ton of time and effort into finding a preexisting brick-and-mortar outpost in an attractive location, and once you lock it down, you’re probably going to need to find (and retain) some reliable employees who can make things go smoothly on a day-to-day basis while dealing the other various expenses (and headaches) involved with running the operations.

Dice Cream, on the other hand, has come up with a gameplan to overcome the biggest traditional hurdles by thinking outside of the carton to create the eye-catching ice cream parlors that take up a comparatively minimal amount of space and reduce labor costs thanks to a robot arm dubbed “Dicey” that works in conjunction with autonomous carts (a.k.a. “minions)” to serve up cubes of ice cream to up 90 customers an hour.
How can I invest in Dice Cream?
The company aims to disrupt the ice cream industry with its groundbreaking technology and deliver an autonomous ice cream parlor to market all around the world. Think: lower operating costs and higher profits margins while being small enough to be placed in high traffic areas such as malls, venues, and campuses.
To achieve this vision, they’re looking for investors via their Start Engine campaign, which has already raised over $156,000. You can invest to help shape the future of the ice cream industry for as little as $250, with shares currently being offered at $1.

It’s a good time: Dice Cream currently has non-binding LOIs signed with Shoprider to opeate 80 unites across Japan and Korea. Each standalone store can store up to 1,280 scoops of ice cream along with the toppings (including sprinkles, candy, and chocolate syrup) that allow customers to select from up to 144 unique combinations while placing an order with the help of an AI-powered virtual assistant.
Dice Cream is backed by a core of veterans from the food, robotics, and automation industries with 30 years of combined experience across those realms, and the company is currently looking for investors who share its vision as it gears up to start beta testing its ice cream shops at college campuses in the United States later this year.
Two scoops towards the future.
